Well I need help I'm planing to up upgrade my cars (1995 Toyota Corolla) audio before the new year I know what I want but have no clue how to get it as my car is used to carry around wheelchairs and medical stuff all the time so space is limited every thing as to go under the front seats or in the stock locations.

This is what I want:

I want some bass but it as to take up hardly any space I know you can get subwoofer for under the seats but are then any good I'm not out for mad bass levels just enough to make music sound a bit better and not so flat

I want nice crisp sound from the speakers again has to fit in stock location which are front doors and in the boot by the shocks (See bottom picture) so what do I pick

I need a new head unit and this bits good I can go double din but what to look for I want input for my mp3 player and usb

I think thats it

This is the car nice and big I have no picture of the dash or door cards but will upload some later

You could fab new speaker pods for the rear stock locations to house the speakers and a 6.5" sub in each pod.

They would each have to have their own chamber so as not to damage the speakers from over pressure.

Get a nice set of components for the front along with a good amp to power them and the most important thing is to deaden and prep the doors to help bring out the best in the components.

If you remove those rear quarter pannels and see how much room you have to work with ... You might can build 2 separate enclosures for a pair of 10s ported and tuned ... May have to get creative with the fiberglass molds and enclosure design, but could be a nice setup ... and look cool with a single 10" driver on each side of your vehicle ... And beings that the enclosures would be fiberglassed to be up to your vehicle (meaning very secured), should have some very aggressive bass ... may try and make a false floor for your amplifiers too ...

Then again, just my suggestion here ...

They do have shallow mount subs that you could use to possibly go under your seats since you use the rear to carry stuff. As for components if you want you can use 6.5in ones or just run the factory size.

Lookn at the car and space avaible

Without doing major mods

Look into 1 or 2x of kicker cvt6.5 or crt6.7 on 1x px200.1 (don't can them then not that bad for what they are)

It will take up no space at all in the rear and made for ib setup

They go in the rear wall or back trunk door, some sound deading would be recommended tho

Then just find some nice front door speakers and run of h/u or amp under pas front seat

No trunk space used at all

Thanks for all the help I know have a rough idea of what I can do with the space I have

Fiberglass is something I've never done but would like to try done loads of reading on it and watch tons of videos it look easy may have a go at making car eyelids for it

There is some space behind the rear quater panels but the rear speaker sit in a box which I've never seen done before

Some better pictures these are the rear speakers

and the box they sit in

This is the hole left behind when there removed not much space

This is whats behind the rear quater panels I never knew the jack was in there till now

And this is the door speakers up front looking at the car with the door shut there is space from the hinge to the pocket

And now the odd part I have two head unit slots
